I embarked on an epic journey through the heart of Westafrica. From Lagos in Nigeria to Dakar in Senegal in three weeks. Passing seven countries on the way, thus joining artists from the whole continent and taking them to the Biennale in Dakar. It was a hell of a ride.
Last summer, Vince Perraud explored the Dolomites with our favorite 35 mm camera. Let's have a look at his photos of his escapade while reading his interview.
Questa foto ha oggi come non mai un significato speciale. Fu scattata nel Natale 2018, a casa dei miei nonni, durante un momento di pausa tra una portata e l'altra. Avendo solo i nonni materni i giorni di festa si festeggiavano a casa loro; mio Nonno amava cucinare per gli altri, avere la "tavola rotonda" - come la chiamava lui - sempre piena di parenti e amici. Negli ultimi anni s'era fatto vecchio, e stanco; non cucinava più come una volta ma non per questo aveva perso il piacere della tavola e della compagnia. Uscito fuori sul balcone ho trovato lui e mio padre, intenti a conversare del più e del meno, e decisi di ritrarli, semplicemente assorti nelle parole. Mio nonno mi dà le spalle ma sente il click della macchina, si volta, sorride e fa: "poi me la fai vedere la foto!". Quest'anno lui non sarà vicino a me fisicamente, ma so che spiritualmente sarà sempre lì seduto, alla sua "tavola rotonda", insieme alla sua famiglia.
because he is always there for me when I need a smile, I would like to give him an LC-A+ to tell him I appreciate his presence in my neighbourhood. I would like to see the pictures he would take...
A while ago I had an idea for doubles, but the first try failed, as the first layer wasn't visible at all. Then, a few weeks ago I bought an old Minolata X300 at the second hand shop. It is my first SLR camera and I thought I should give the doubles a second try. For the first layer I shot text and pictures of '' where the wild things are'' (which is one of my favorite books & films) on a black computerscreen in a complete dark room. The second layer was shot at the beach in Scheveningen. I am really happy about the results and I hope you like them too! Thanks to @bloomchen, who answered all my questions about doubles :)
